This illustrated book covers such phenomena spontaneous human combustion, poltergeists, people with strange or unusual powers, strange items falling from the skies, vanishings and disappearances and crop circles. In the chapter entitled 'Hearts on Fire' cases explored include Spontaneous fires and cases of people burning to ashes without any apparent external cause. Also examined is how ,people-often children-with the strange ability (linked to poltergeists) to set nearby objects on fire. In the chapter on "Poltergeists with a difference' the author covers accounts of blood spurting from walls and other inanimate objects, while other cases involve sexual disturbances as well as strange omens. According to Stone 'Poltergeist infestations are a grotesque roll call of the most mean minded, petty and spiteful acts that human malice can devise. Then there is the chapter on 'Human Enigmas'. At 4, Zheng Xiangling, could see glowing auras surrounding people, at 6 she could accurately predict the sex of unborn babies, by the times she was 24 she had developed an X-ray vision which the leaders of Red China found very useful. There is the science of 'thoughtography'. the ability to project images onto film or paper by mental energy alone-one of the most remarkable of paranormal talents. Then there are those who can magnetically attract objects or hold massive amounts of electricity in their bodies. The result in some cases being that electric appliances self-destructed or refused to work in their presence.
